Hit Gold in the Dry sand cut.

Only out for about an hour with my CTX 3030 when my scoop handle broke.

But I hit Gold !!

Nice find!

I'd be less than happy if I broke my handle after only an hour, but thrilled with finding gold.

Oh the emotional rollercoaster! LOL........

Did you break it digging the gold ? Or did you have to hand dig the gold after it broke ? Nice find !

Congrats on the Gold! That stinks about the scoop handle, is it easily and inexpensively repairable?

does that count as 3 rings

It's a aluminum handle. I will cut of the broken piece and drill a new hole.
If it breaks again. I will buy a carbon fiber handle.

First I found the ring and then a coin.

Right after that the handle just snapped.

I will fix it.

I put a short piece of wood dowel inside my metal pole where the high stress is.
